.AJ. Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 The shackles are fine, it's the way they mount to frame rail that needs modding, easily enough to sort. The front has proper hangers, shame they couldn't have use the same on the rear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie666uk Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 i love the detail in some of the bigger trucks. that uc6 is beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I would have loved a big 6x6 or 8x8 but the price was a bit rich for me at the moment, I could have afforded one, but it would have put a big dent in my Kaken fund Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie666uk Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 hmm thats a few months saving for me but the detail is worth the expense i reckon. however that kraken is definatly one on my want list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Thought I would share these..... Popper scale aluminium checker plate for the side steps and door/body cills And grills for the bonnet scoop and wing vents This is a kit that just keeps giving lol, the fullly operating light kit is worthy of a mention as well, it has working brake, indicators and reversing light, also using a aux channel on your radio gear you can switch on/off the full beams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front has proper hangers, shame they couldn't have use the same on the rear Sorry yes I meant the actual mounting points perhaps some thin alloy or steel, cut some small bits and bend over on the inside of the chassis and the outside of the shackles? I was also impressed with the light kit that came with my 8x8x4, only thing that bugs me is the indicators come on everytime you turn lol, shame they didn't add just a small delay so you can hold the steering one way ready to turn then they come on after a few seconds... Minor detail Shame that model shop doesn't have the 4x4 truck... I'd be very very tempted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 I won't be using the indicators, I'll just stick with the other lights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) That's what I did as well lol, just had them in so you could see a faint orange but left the plug out. Side steps look good! Any chance you could measure how long the chassis rails are bud? Edited March 21, 2016 by Oh How Original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.AJ. Posted March 21, 2016 Author Share Posted March 21, 2016 I won't be buying anything else expensive for the build now, the seller is on eBay and he didn't have any frame rails Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Shall see if I can find him, if not I'll fire him an E-Mail... Just contemplating the idea of a 6x6 build and this length chassis would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
